COMPOSITION OF MATTER.

To all whom if may concern.-

Beit known that I, LOUIS F. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illi- 11018, have invented a new and useful Improved- Composition of Matter, of which the ollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to a new and improved composition of matter which may be employed with benefit for various uses and possesses the advantage of being a particuarly eflicient and desirable friction material which may be employed, for example, as a brake-shoe facing or insert.

In the manufacture of my improved material I emplo r the following ingredients in substantially t e pro ortions named, reckoned by bulk: hard-coa cinders three parts; as

we par s; rock-salt, one pa'rT;

bestos pu pl, es euca tus wopd-ijilfi," three parts; cemen one par su fate of magnesia, one

he cinders, asbestos, salt,

Patented Aug. 7, 1906.

The moldin or shaping of the material into blocks or tie like is preferably performed under more or less great pressure in any suitable manner.

The resultant material or composition of matter is incombustible, is unaffected by acids, is waterproof, has a high wearing quality, and is similar in man respects to petrified wood. It is an excel ent abrasive material and particularly well adapted for use as friction material. While thus far I have produced the best results by providing the aforesaid ingredients in the proportions by bulk named, naturally the proportions may be varied to suit particular cases. Other desirable wood-pulp may be substituted for eucalyptus.

What I claim as neW,-and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The herein-described composition of matter consisting of granulated cinder, asbestos pulp, salt, wood-pulp, cement, sulfate of magnesia and creosote combined in substantially the proportions stated.

2. The herein-described composition of matter, for friction-blocks, consistmg of granulated cinder, asbestos, salt, wood-pulp, cement, sulfate of ma nesia and creosote combined in substantial y the proportions stated, compressed into form and dried.
